Chairman's Message

Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb

United Group with its humble start back in 1978 has come a long way in becoming one of the most recognized business houses of the nation and quite possibly the largest company in terms of investment in both social and civil infrastructures. We strongly believe in the sustainable socio-economic development of the country through infrastructure development and capacity building of our capable human resources and as such we have continued our efforts in nation building though our dedication, commitment and sincerity.

With that endeavor our United International University has singled out itself as one of the emerging private universities in Bangladesh being established in 2003 with the mission, "Quest for Excellence".

As you know, most of the world's trade travel through the vast oceans of the world. That is why men and ships work together to improve the economy. However, men cannot become seamen without being trained and educated by a credible maritime training institution. With this vision United Group has established United Maritime Academy (UMA) with the best possible faculties, infrastructure facilities and equipment aiming to create future leaders of the maritime world. UMA is confident of telling everyone that the academy is committed to create proficient marine officers who can be trusted both in the practical and theoretical aspects of the seafaring industry.

Qualified mariners have a world of opportunity ahead. United Maritime Academy offers an opportunity to provide outstanding education and training facilities for careers at sea. I believe our academy will be a rewarding path in the merchant marine service to set promising future on a course of excitement and achievement. While establishing the Academy, the objective was to arrange that opening for our bright and talented youths.

The 2-years Nautical and Engineering courses will help the students fast track their way into being qualified mariners with assured career path of growth, fulfillment and a great monetary reward to them, their family and the nation. We invite you to come and visit us and be a part of this amazing experience!
